GT Zaskar Carbon 100 9R Elite 2013

Since day one GT has been no stranger to the rugged, untamed world of mountain biking. As an industry leader in technology, GT has made a name for itself by consistently setting the standards by which the competition obeys. GT Bicycles have been at the forefront of success in the World’s top mountain biking events, such as the 2013 World Cup at Fort William and Val di Sole, where Rachel and Gee Atherton took double victories at both (back to back) events. GT does not only strive for success in the Elite level of racing, but at all levels and in all disciplines, for all riders. Take a gander at GT’s Zaskar Carbon 100 collection, and you’ll be quick to notice this to be true.

Swing your leg over the 2013 GT Zaskar Carbon 100 9R Elite bike and hone in on the only thing that matters to you; winning! GT has laid the foundation for the Zaskar 100 9R with the F.O.C. Ultra Speed Blend Carbon Frame that includes a 100mm Travel Independent Drivetrain®. GT’S patented Independent Drivetrain system keeps your efforts concentrated where they belong by virtually eliminating pedal lag and giving you a smooth transition between uphill and downhill. GT’s proprietary Forced Optimized Constructed (F.O.C.) carbon construction enables a frame that is both rigid and lightweight to greatly reduced flex, without adding unnecessary material. The long top tube offers an aggressive position, allowing the rider to navigate through gnarly terrain with confidence in check.

Though the Zaskar Carbon 100 9R Elite is known for its rocket-like acceleration and efficiency, the Zaskar’s 100mm of travel is there to propel you over rocks, roots, and ruts, amongst other debris, ensuring nothing gets in the way of maximum speed. The Fox Float CTD rear shock allows the rider to toggle between Climb, Trail and Descend modes for optimized speed, efficiency, and control in whatever situation the trail may throw at you. The RockShox Recon Gold RL features a 15mm thru axle for torsional stiffness, a tapered alloy steerer for sturdiness and responsiveness, and lockout switch for rigidity.

GT strove to provide a versatile setup with an incomparable combination of performance and value to captivate recreational riders and racers alike. With that said, the Zaskar Carbon 100 9R Elite comes outfitted with a Shimano Deore front derailleur, crankset and shifters for reliable, predicable shifting that won’t miss a beat. To keep the overall cost compelling and performance optimized where it counts the most, GT hung a Shimano SLX rear derailleur. The cockpit is cleverly assembled with some of the biggest names in the game, including Crankbrothers Cobalt 1 seatpost and handlebar, Easton EA50 stem, and Fizik Tundra2 Mg saddle.

Due to its speed capabilities and the ability to roll over rocks and roots more efficiently than a 26” wheel, the 29” wheel size is the premier choice for XC riders at all levels. The wheel build combination consisting of Alex XD-Lite rims, All Terra Lightweight Alloy hubs, DT Swiss Competition spokes, and Maxxis Aspen tires, delivers bomb proof durability, low rolling resistance and plenty of grip when cornering. When your horse gallops as fast as the Zaskar Carbon 100 9R Elite, optimum stopping power is mandatory, which is why GT went with the Avid Elixir 3 disc brakes and brake levers to provide the braking confidence needed to scorch the course.

Insanely lightweight, as stiff as the scared competition, and exceptionally fast, the 2013 Zaskar Carbon 100 9R Elite will have you confidently pinning your number on race day!
